What happened in Turkish football today? 31/10/2023



Besiktas gets win Gaziantep while going through difficult period.

Besiktas has managed to get an important win against Gaizantep with 2:0 scoreline even through it didnt provide very good performance and has failed to get full control of the game while their opponent couldnt provide last touches to the shot.

Before criticising Besiktas, it is important to note that team is going through difficult period as administrative team and also to some extend technical staff future at the team is being unclear as team is going through very serious crises and this would have some negative impact into team psychology, so it was important for team to come out with winning mentality and by achieving that it should be praised. Still, it does need to be mentioned that Gaziantep did have many of the chances during game and couldnt find goal as it had issues with converting goals, an issue which did take place in recent weeks. Still,it could be noted that this win would provide needed motivation for upcoming games.

Besiktas hence did get win in difficult period and possibly would get confidence boost for upcoming weeks for sure.

Besiktas are going to very important CEO election next month.

Staying with Besiktas, as it is known club has moved its CEO election into 2 weeks ahead as it would be taking place place on 26th November and if majority will not be gathered it would be moving to next week.

It is expected right now that current CEO Ahmet Nur Cebi would not be running as candidate and there are reports in Turkish sports media that Cebi has arleady decided that and would make an official statement at short notice. This also means that continuing his reign would be Emre Kocadag who is being 2nd man for Ahmet Nur Cebi during his stay. There is without doubt lots of focus for change not only of name but also mentality how club would be run so its not really clear to state that Kocadag would be clear favourite even through he does have advantage of having experience at running club for long time.

Therefore, it does look to be very important CEO election and it would be interesting to see how club members would act as club is being in serious crises right now.

Safouri and Jehezkel have conflict of interest with Antalyaspor for national duty

Due of ongoing war between Israel and Palestine, Israelli FA has made decision to call its national team players on early date of 5th November to make its preparation for Euro2024 into more suitable condition.

With Antalyaspor having 2 Israelli players Ramzi Safouri and Sargiv Jehezkel are aiming to joining national side on that date but it is reported that club doesnt consider to send them away early with taking account that team would play against Ankaragucu on league on 10th November. Players has stated that there are trying to find ways to solve this tough condition and it does look one of the sides would need to go through compromise to sort this issue.

This is as seen ongoing story and our accounts would report latest developments which woudl take place.
